another exceptional one is the leads trey plays after 6:02 in this video, though since it's so protracted i guess you have to call it a solo:

i'm a sucker for melodies, even over complex beats. i can't say there is an ultimate melody for me but one that always pops into my head is the melody at the end of "my exploding psychology" by sp

yeah i was going to put that one too. melodies are pretty much my favorite thing about music. i like long, stripped down but complex, alien sounding, winding melodies.

Imagine having this stuck in your head for 2 1/2 years.

Same with this piece. Any of the melodic themes and their permutations will do.

The cadence in the middle makes me want to cry.

Fucking soul!

Anyways, I could go on and on so I'll just list a few:

Anything by Rossini - The motherfucker bleeds melody. (The Barber of Seville, The Thieving Magpie, etc...)

The Bad Plus - 'Velouria' It's not their song but they own it in a way that brings out the best in that melody in a way that The Pixies never will.

George Gershwin - 'Rhapsody In Blue'

Squarepusher - 'Song: Our Underwater Torch'. This actually reminds me very much of that Bach piece I just posted.

King Crimson - 'Moonchild'

Ornette Coleman - 'Lonely Woman'

you are right. it's probably the only track on that album i consistently revisit. FUSE enjoys very loud volumes too.

but as for my off-the-cuff response, theme from ernest borgnine
